EPA to let states address rising ocean acidity By GENE JOHNSON, Associated Press Writer Gene Johnson, Associated Press Writer  1 hr 22 mins ago SEATTLE  The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says it will consider ways the states can address rising levels of carbon dioxide in oceans. The agency on Thursday settled a lawsuit filed last year by the Center for Biological Diversity in San Francisco. The problem stems from oceans absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and results in the rising acidity of the water. It seriously threatens shellfish and other marine life. The lawsuit accused the EPA of acting improperly when it approved a list of impaired waters in Washington state that omitted the state's coastal waters. In the settlement the EPA agrees to hear from the public in developing ways that the states can use the Clean Water Act to regulate pollutants that cause ocean acidification.

I’ve been there once or twice. Some crazy people, sure. Some leftist idiots, sure. But it’s still an American city, and the people who live there are still Americans. Are you seriously saying you wouldn’t be upset if it was wiped out?

I would not be upset and I don’t consider the people who live there to be Americans (none are Americans in spirit and well over half were not born here and are here illegally), and I’m including the entire metropolitan area in that. And I won’t even go into what has resulted from their official “sanctuary” policies of hiding violent criminals who are here illegally and their refusal to ever contact ICE, their hatred for the military, or the Castro district, which has the largest concentration of radical homosexuals in the country. For example, they openly, on the sidewalks, have anal sex with each other while completely naked and routinely invade churches to disrupt services. Then there’s Berkeley right across the bay. The entire area is an America-hating, Marxist mecca. Ron Dellums, Barbara Smith, Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer - all Marxist politicians, all from that area.

I could go on for pages.

You could go on for pages describing how disgusting SF is, how evil SF’s politics are, etc. I would agree with you wholeheartedly. But when you would celebrate the deaths of hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of American citizens (yes, there are plenty of illegals there, but there are also plenty of American citizens there too), you have crossed the line. That is one of the most un-American things I have ever read on this site, and you ought to be ashamed of yourself.

There are about 342543511 cubic miles of water in the oceans (think of a cube 700 miles along each edge!). Im impressed if we can change the pH enough to matter - considering that we have about 60,000,000,000 gallons per person.Well, I did pee in my 60,000,000,000 gallons a couple of times last vacation, so that could explain why my share went up in PH...
